If there's one friendship that Bollywood swears by, it's Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn. The director-actor duo have been friends for more than three decades, and apart from a professional relationship, they also share a strong sense of kindship. In an exclusive chat with India Today Digital, the filmmaker opened up about his bond with the Singham Again star and said that he wants the actor to star in all his films. During the chat, Shetty also confessed that Devgn never discusses the length of his role and happens to be one of the most secure actors of the industry.
Talking about his friendship with the actor, Rohit Shetty said it's been more than 33 years that they have been together. "It has been such a long journey, and we've worked in so many films together. If you count the guest appearances, we have made 13 films. It's absolutely a different bond with him. There is a comfort zone, and something very special. Also, his faith is the most important thing. He has never questioned how you will present me; how many actors are there in the film or anything else. He just surrenders himself as an actor. And the biggest plus point is that he always works for the betterment of the film. He's not bothered about the length or someone dominating him in the scene," the filmmaker said.
When we asked him whether he feels like casting him in all his films, Rohit said with a smile, "Yes, at times I do feel that. Probably this is why whenever I make something with other actors, I see to it that he makes a guest appearance in them."
The director also shared that when they made Singham in 2011, they never imagined it to be so successful, or even kickstart a universe. He said, "We had done four back-to-back comedy films and before starting Bol Bachchan and Chennai Express, we wanted [to do something else]. This suddenly came our way. It was a remake (from the Tamil film Singam). We thought we could tweak this for our Hindi audience and it could do wonders. Read More
